You use reports to organize database information in a format which gives you a clear picture of where the organization stands. This page gives the general outline of how to run any report. Alternatively, you can refer to the Quick Reference Guides on creating a report for a tutorial to see how this works. The bottom of this help page has exact topic links.

The general steps are:

1. Open the reports window
2. Click a report category on the left side
3. Select a report on the right side that matches your needs
4. Read about what the report will do in the area at the top of the window beside the 'computer man' on the report window.
5. Click the 'Print' button if this report looks like it will do what you want
6. Follow each of the tabs in the report parameters window, starting with entering criteria to limit the data that will appear on the report
7. When you click 'Done' at the end of the reporting parameter window, Theatre Manager will find the data matching your criteria and display it on your report
